Xiaomi 4 Ultra vs Kugoo G2: Which one for city riding and in general?

Buying advice

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a scooter for city rides about 2-3 times a week (mostly asphalt and bike lanes) and I'm stuck between the Xiaomi Mi 4 Ultra and the Kugoo KuKirin G2. Speed ​​isn't the most important thing to me. Build quality and suspension are more important to me.

Xiaomi Mi 4 Ultra

- Price: $570

- Max power: 940W

- Range: up to 70 km

- Top speed: 20 km/h

- Battery: 561.5 Wh

- Tires: 10" self-healing DuraGel

- Suspension: dual suspension

- Weight: 26 kg

- Max load: 120 kg

- Water resistance: IP55

Kugoo KuKirin G2

- Price: $600

- Motor: 800W

- Range: up to 55 km

- Top speed: 25 km/h

- Battery: 48V / 15Ah / 720Wh

- Tires: 10" pneumatic tires

- Brakes: front + rear disc brakes

- Weight: 26 kg

- Max load: 120 kg

- Water resistance: IP54

My main questions for owners:

  1. Real range: Xiaomi claims 70km on a smaller battery, while Kugoo claims 55km on a bigger one. What's the actual real-world range for both?

  2. Speed vs. Comfort: Is the 20 km/h limit on the Xiaomi annoying in the city? Does its suspension and gel tires make up for being slower?

  3. Reliability: Which scooter needs less maintenance right out of the box?

Thanks for any advice!
